Statistics
show that only a small percentage of people who join online dating
sites actually get any replies.
The reason for this is simple.
Most people have profiles and sent email that is just plain boring.
It’s
not that they are boring people, and often that can be far from the
truth – It’s because most people don’t
take the time to make their profiles interesting or else they look at
others profiles and assume that’s the way theirs should be
written and copy a style that isn’t working for someone else.
If you are looking at other profiles with the intention of getting some
ideas for your own then see which ones get your attention. See which
profiles make you want to contract the person to get more information.
Search for characteristics that are similar to your own or the type of
people that you are interested in meeting and see what they have
written in their profiles.
Were they interesting? Did they make you laugh? Did they make you
curious? Or did they make you want to move on to the next profile as
soon as possible?
You have to give people a reason to want to stop and find out more
about you and you only have a few seconds to attract their attention.
Sure there are thousands of people on these sites looking for people
just like you but you also need to understand that there are thousands
of people for them to choose from too and you are one of many that they
could be looking at, at any one time.
What makes you special? Let them know while always remembering to be
honest and to present your profile as the person you really are.
See what response you are getting and if necessary keep changing your
profile until you start getting the results you are after. |
